|
|
At least 3 subjects (but no more than 4) are studied at Higher Level: 5/6 lessons per week.
|
|
|
The remaining three subjects are studied at Standard Level: 4 lessons per week.
|
|
|
All three parts of the core:
|
1.
|
Theory of Knowledge (2 hours per week)
|
|
2.
|
Extended Essay
|
|
3.
|
Creativity, Action, Service
|
are compulsory and are central to the philosophy of the Diploma Programme.
|
1. Theory of knowledge (TOK)
The interdisciplinary TOK course is designed to provide coherence by exploring the nature of knowledge across disciplines, encouraging an appreciation of other cultural perspectives.
2. Extended essay
The extended essay has a prescribed limit of 4,000 words. It offers the opportunity to investigate a topic of individual interest, and acquaints students with the independent research and writing skills expected at university.
3. Creativity, action, service (CAS)
Participation in the School's CAS programme encourages students to be involved in artistic pursuits, sports and community service work, thus fostering students' awareness and appreciation of life outside the academic arena.
If the number of students wishing to take a particular subject is insufficient, the School may withdraw it from offer.
The total minimum number of lessons in High School Year 2 & 3 is of 32 lessons a week.
More information about the IB DP programme can be found on: www.ibo.org.
